Chapter 92 Captive Sparrows
To the back, Bain basically will not say anything, only in front of the children, will say a few more words, smile will also have temperature, but her eyes, but more and more dim.
Bane's last resort was cooking.
She has no need to work hard in the financial circle, she can do now seems to only cook, under her careful care, Norton has become less picky eaters, the small body to the naked eye speed fat several laps, the little face because of a little more meat, a lot of lovely.
Bert, on the other hand, laid the plan on his desk. He had not been back for a week.
"Divide up these tasks and follow the plan."
"Yes, boss."
The manager took the plan with him and closed the office door, leaving Bert alone.
These days, he has handled the company's work in the next few months, and now he doesn't know what to do.
There seems to be no reason not to go back.
Bert rubbed his temples, and his face was still a little tired.
Jack knocked on the door and entered the office. "Boss," he said, "are you going to the party tonight?"
Bert's fingers beat rhythmically on the table, and after a long pause he replied, "No."
"All right."
"Go home."
Jick strained his nerves and finally relaxed.
These days, the boss has been working overtime in the company, make the company's people complain, everyone is tight nerves, no one dare to relax down.
The boss is going back this time.
Jick drove in the front, and Bert sat in the back, watching the landscape fly by obscurely.
Why are you going back now?
Bert could not say why.
He felt a little strange in the heart, the manor, there is a mistress, and just recognized the little daughter, his own daughter.
He didn't know how to face Bane. His decision wasn't made yet.
But he couldn't keep escaping.
As soon as Bert entered the house, there was a noise.
"Wow! Brother, you are too good! It's fireworks!"
"Sophie, what do you want to see? Your brother could do it for you."
Bane came out of the kitchen, apron on, dish in hand, beaming at Sophie and Norton. "Go wash your hands," he said, "and play later."
Norton quickly turns off the fireworks, turns off his computer, and goes to wash his hands.
Before that, Norton hated eating, but now, Norton loves eating more than anything else, because his mother always finds a way to cook something that he looks forward to.
The corners of Bert's mouth turned slightly when he saw this in the doorway, but he did not seem to notice it.
Just then Bane saw Bert, and the smile on his face froze and he stopped.
When Norton and Sophie see Bert, they spontaneously shout, "Daddy!"
Bert smiled and went inside. "Ready for dinner?" he said.
Sophie was a little embarrassed, but smiled. "Yes, Mom made braised fish with chicken soup! Dad, you just made it!"
Without saying a word, Bane went back to the kitchen for a new set of cutlery.
Bert's brow furrowed when he saw that Bane did not look at all pleased.
Just then Sophie forked up a piece of chicken, placed it carefully on Bert's plate, and forked one for Bane.
Bert's eyes fell on Sophie. "Why isn't Sophie eating?" he asked with a smile.
Sophie's face was red and a little squishy. "For Dad. Mother's cooking is really good!"
Norton looks at his sister. "So does my brother, Sophie."
Sophie rushes to grab a piece of meat and hands it to her brother, but before she can finish it, it falls off Norton's plate. "I'm sorry, brother...
Norton, unfawned, quickly forks the missing piece of chicken onto his plate. "It's okay," he says. "Sophie gave it to her brother, and he'll eat it."
Bert was surprised at the certainty of the words, not at all what Norton would have said a few days earlier, but he also noticed how mellow Norton looked.
It seems to be a good idea to keep Bane.
Both Norton and Sophie enjoyed the meal, chatting with Bert, who patiently answered the children's questions and played out his father's role.
Only Bane, for the most part, did not speak.
After dinner, Norton and Sophie were headed off to study for another hour, and Myron walked over with the boys while Bane quietly packed up and stayed in the kitchen for a long time.
She didn't want to go out at all, because she hadn't decided how she would face Bert.
But running away is no solution at all. Face to face is face to face. She lives in the manor house, and she is the mother of Sophie and Norton, and Bert is the owner of the manor house and the father of the children.
It was a strange relationship that kept Bane up many sleepless nights.
Also constantly to do their own psychological preparation.
She knew very well that if you have something, you have to lose something.
Summering all her courage, she went out of the kitchen, and was relieved to find that Bert was no longer in the dining-room, and hurried back to her room.
She bathed, put on her pajamas, and looked in the mirror with a wry smile.
She slept until early in the morning, and suddenly she felt very thirsty, so she wanted to go to the living room to get a glass of water.
Can walk to the corridor, but found that the study is still lit.
Bert's still in the study?
She looked at the clock on the wall. It was three in the morning.
She stood a moment by the door of her study, and, finding she had no courage to enter, attempted to return.
Just then Bert's voice came from the study.
"Come here."
Bane paused, trying to pretend he hadn't heard anything.
"I don't want to say it twice."
She sighed helplessly and went into the study.
Bert turned off the computer, leaned back in his chair, looked up at her, and asked, "Why not?"
"How did you know I was at the door?"
Bert smiled, and said, "Because you have a shadow."
Yes, Bert did see her shadow.
Bane was instantly embarrassed.
Bert relaxed himself and said, "Well? Are you used to it?"
"I'm used to it," Bane replied against his will.
She wasn't used to it at all. She wasn't used to any part of it.
She was like a sparrow that had stumbled into a cage.
